I like this scheme because it consists of three greys, Medium Sea Grey, Barley Grey and Light Aircraft grey.

The weathering on these aircraft is also quite a challenge, don't you think so?

No sorry, I don't agree in my opinion I like them early schemes.. but after all it's your model , Cyril do as you like .. even green and grey are nice ...just my 2 cents...

Marco,

If you don't agree with my choice of scheme, that is not my problem, I like the photo of XR765, but I don't like the traditional WW2 colours of Ocean Grey and Dark Green. I would like to have something different.

If I had to change my mind I would go for a bare metal finish using Alclad 2 paints, the problem is would which one?

[quote="Wayne"]I know I'm probably the only soul in the world to think this but I genuinely think that the Lightning is one of the ugliest planes that ever took off.

BUT... you're doing a lovely job with the model Cyril, and another British classic rolling off your production line.

Looking forward to see more.[/quote

I don't think it is ugly, more strange for that time, it's like a Javlin with the centre part of the wing missing, and it was a mach 2 aircraft for as early as the late fifties. Looking head on it is quite stealthy.

Oh come Wayne , this aircraft is a beauty for it's time...

Cyril I don't think you understand me I told you I like them early schemes.. but after all it's your model ..

And if you go for metal , well we use to see them very often back in the 70's in Malta.. F6....
